Changes
=======

* Chromium updated to 30.0.1599.66 (now shown in nw:version)

* Support crash dumping: if node-webkit crashes, your users or you can
attach the dump file in bug reports. It contains stack trace
information which is helpful to locate the root cause. See
https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Crash-dump

* i18n of built-in mac menus: the built-in menus created for Mac are
now translated to 53 languages with strings from upstream. For the
list of languages, see
https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/tree/master/src/resources/locale

The resource file for localization is named by <language code>.pak and
is placed in 'Contents/Frameworks/node-
webkit
Framework.framework/Resources/' directory. The language to be used is
determined by the user's default settings on start. If the
localization file is not found, the application will quit with an
error message. An argument override will be provided in 0.8.0.

* Linux: environment variable override for the proxy settings. Use
'--v=1' to see whether it's applied from the environment or GSettings.
The following environment variables are supported: 'all_proxy',
'http_proxy', 'https_proxy', 'ftp_proxy', 'no_proxy', 'SOCKS_VERSION',
'SOCKS_SERVER'.

* Fix: Date pickers language is always English regardless of current
locale. (#669)
* Fix: File dialog's language is always English regardless of current
locale.(#103)
* Fix: gui.App error in CallStaticMethodSync when using multiple windows (#1187)
* Fix console.log() output in terminal.
* Fix -webkit-app-region: drag don't work any more once it maximized.
* nw.gui.Window: add 'devtools-closed' event; always send
'devtools-opened' event.
* nw.gui.Window: add 'isDevToolsOpen()' to query the status of devtools.
* Fix: crash on using filesystem API: quota and persistent storage

Tests that were working just fine against 0.7.x are hanging with 0.8.0 and these new chromedrivers. Is anyone else running into problems?

Do you mean the same workload works fine with 0.8.0 but hanging with
0.8.0 + chromedriver?

0.8.0 + chromedriver?

Running manually under 0.7.2 and 0.8.0 works fine, and running selenium tests with 0.7.2 + 0.7.x chromedriver works fine, but selenium tests with 0.8.0 + 0.8.x chromedriver hang at launch.

Thank you for a FANTASTIC product!

I've never liked JavaScript much, as it didn't make sense in my environment, but Node Webkit has changed my perception completely.  Now I can use JavaScript and it actually makes my life easier.  Node Webkit is a great development, well done!
